A Lost Object [h.s]

Chapter 35

Aurora

I gathered myself first, trying to get over the fact that I was just dumped on Valentines Day by my Fiancée. I left the streets, making my way over to Odyssey's dorm. I knocked on the door and waited. The door swung open, I came face to face with someone I was not expecting.

"Hey Aurora"

"Zayn, hey. Is Odyssey here?"

"Oh yeah, she's in the restroom getting ready" He explained.

"Are you guys going somewhere?"

"Dinner date. It's Valentine's Day."

I nodded in understandment. "Do you want to come in and wait for her?" He asks.

"No that's fine. I have to get going anyways." I didn't want to be a disruption on their day. It's clear that they had plans for Valentine's Day. I couldn't ruin that for her with my miserable relationship issues. I quickly bid Zayn a good day before leaving. I got outside, letting out a big sigh. Where can I possibly go? I had no money to take the bus and I honestly did not want to walk anywhere, especially in these seven inch heels. But that was my only option.

After walking around the city for an hour I decided to rest. My legs would have fallen off if I didn't. I went into the Taco Bell, taking a seat at a table. I pulled off my heels, setting them on the floor next to me.

I rested my elbows on the table and began to massage the sides of my head. Today was the worst day ever and it was yet to be over. "Can I get you anything?" A worker who was cleaning up the place had asked me.

"No thank you." I told him. He nodded and continued his work. I leaned back in my seat, retrieving my phone from my pocket. It was only twelve thirty. My mother was expecting my back home by eight o'clock. That was a long way to go of doing absolutely nothing. The sound of someone calling my name pulled me out of my thoughts. I looked up to see Niall holding hands with a beautiful dark haired girl with a pretty pale skin complexion.

"Oh hey Niall. How are you?" I asked him.

He gave me a smile with a nod, "I'm good. What about you? Are you waiting for someone?"

How was I to respond to that without lying? I didn't want to tell him about my day. It was already embarrassing enough without having everyone know. "No, I was just heading home." Well, not a complete lie. I think it's time I call it a day and just go home to my bed. Although I did not want to deal with my mothers interrogations, I was tired, embarrassed and I want to sleep the pain away. I honestly don't know why this was hitting me so hard. Harry and I haven't been together that long. We're not even really together. It's just an arranged marriage. I don't know what I was expecting. We just aren't as close I thought we were or maybe I just don't know him as well as I thought I did.

"Do you want me to give you a lift home?" Niall questions. I could use the ride but by the looks of the clothes he and his lady friend were wearing I was pretty sure they were on a date. I didn't want to intrude.

"No thank you."

"Are you sure? Mery and I were just going to grab something to eat then we're heading out. I can drop you off at your house, seriously I don't mind." Niall was persistent. He wasn't taking no for an answer no matter how many times I declined his offer.

I finally gave in, "Okay, If it isn't too much of a trouble."

"No of course not!Just give me a minute while I go buy something to eat. You can chat with Mery, who is my girlfriend by the way." He let go of her hand and walked away to the registers.
